Logan Paul es ahora un campeón de lucha libre, porque el tipo acaba de ganar un importante evento de la WWE en Arabia Saudita, donde lo vimos levantar un cinturón de oro en la gloria.

El YouTuber convertido en atleta compitió el sábado en el evento Crown Jewel en Riad contra Rey Mysterio, una de las batallas más atractivas del show, del cual salió victorioso después de recibir una paliza en el ring.

Hubo un montón de idas y venidas entre ambos luchadores, además de un montón de golpes. Al final, Logan ganó tras darle un "puñetazo" con una manopla a Mysterio después de que este saltara hacia él desde las cuerdas. Después de este golpe ilegal, Mysterio quedó noqueado.

Una vez que Rey quedó en la lona, Logan lo cubrió exitosamente en el suelo durante 3 segundos.

Es un gran momento para Logan, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que es relativamente nuevo en el negocio de la lucha libre. Recuerden, que el luchador se unió oficialmente en 2021 y ya es un campeón directo. Por supuesto, todo esto de la WWE está completamente preestablecido /escenificado, así que impresionante hasta cierto punto.

Aun así, estamos seguros de que Logan está muy emocionado porque ganar a lo grande significa que probablemente tendrá un futuro largo y lleno de historia en la promoción. Esto, suponiendo que su cuerpo lo aguanta. Todas estas historias pueden ser falsas, pero el daño que sufren los luchadores profesionales es ciertamente real.

Lo que es importante, Logan Paul también tiene una carrera de boxeo en paralelo, donde también está consiguiendo algunos logros. Recuerden que acaba de ganarle a Dillon Danis.

Jacob Elordi's turn as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola's new movie is getting a lot of head-turns -- and that's probably 'cause he method-acted his way into the role ... with pig skin.

The Aussie actor recently revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he immersed himself into the character in a very unique way ... namely, by stuffing his face with bacon -- and a helluva lot of it, too.

During the roundtable, Coppola noted that Elordi ate a lot of pork strips on set -- which JE confirmed ... pointing out he would apparently down about a pound a day while working.

Seems this technique stemmed from something Priscilla Presley herself told them about her late ex-hubby and his grub of choice. Now, as for how all this bacon gorging affected Jake ... he says he got quite heavy, although he's fortunate enough that it never really showed.

It's interesting ... Elordi's approach to method acting (basically, clogging his arteries just like Elvis, it seems) significantly differs from Austin Butler's -- who continued using his Elvis voice well after cameras had stopped rolling.

AB's commitment to the schtick was praised by some ... and ridiculed by others.

Funny enough ... it sounds like Elordi's take might actually be more accurate to EP himself -- at least according to Coppola, who (in this same EW sit-down) says Priscilla told her after one of the screenings that JE's voice sounded just like Elvis did once upon a time.

The flick, 'Priscilla,' is getting rave reviews on all fronts ... but it's not without its controversy. Whereas the Butler film was a glossy Wikipedia slide through the King's life -- this project focuses more on Elvis and Priscilla's relationship ... and how they came together.

It's a little messy -- Elvis courted Priscilla while she was a teen, and there's been a lot of side-eye in 2023 over it -- something the late Lisa Marie Presley protested before she died.

In any case, the film is out in theaters now ... and there's been a lot of commentary.

Elvis' estate doesn't like Coppola's characterization of the icon either, FWIW -- but Priscilla herself has been on board from day one. This whole thing is literally based on her memoir.

El papel de Jacob Elordi como Elvis Presley en la nueva película de Sofia Coppola está dando mucho que hablar y eso es probablemente porque se metió muchísimo en el papel...

El actor británico reveló recientemente en una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly que se sumergió en el personaje de una manera muy singular, a saber, comiendo una gran cantidad de tocino.

Durante la mesa redonda, Coppola señaló que Elordi comía un montón de tiras de carne de cerdo en el set, lo que el actor confirmó señalando que al parecer bajaba alrededor de una libra al día mientras trabajaba.

Parece que esta técnica surgió de algo que la propia Priscilla Presley les contó sobre su difunto exmarido y su comida preferida. Ahora, en cuanto a cómo todo este tocino atiborrándose afectó a Jake, dice que se puso bastante pesado, aunque tiene la suerte de que nunca se notó realmente.

Es interesante, pues el enfoque de Elordi para interpretar al cantante (básicamente, la obstrucción de sus arterias, al igual que como lo hizo Elvis, al parecer) difiere significativamente de la estrategia de Austin Butler, que continuó utilizando su voz de Elvis mucho después de que las cámaras dejaran de rodar.

El compromiso de Austin Butler con su actuación fue elogiado por algunos y ridiculizado por otros.

Curiosamente, parece que la interpretación de Elordi podría ser más precisa que la del propio Elvis Presley, al menos según Coppola, quien (en esta misma entrevista con EW) dice que Priscilla le dijo después de una de las proyecciones que la voz de Jacob sonaba igual a la de Elvis.

Priscilla está recibiendo críticas muy favorables, pero no está exenta de polémica. Mientras que la película de Butler era una brillante diapositiva de Wikipedia sobre la vida del Rey, este proyecto se centra más en la relación de Elvis y Priscilla y cómo llegaron a estar juntos.

Es un poco complicado. Elvis cortejó a Priscilla cuando ella era una adolescente y ha habido un montón de ojos sobre ello en el último tiempo, algo que la difunta Lisa Marie Presley protestó antes de morir.

En cualquier caso, la película está en los cines ahora y está recibiendo un montón de comentarios.

A los herederos de Elvis tampoco les gusta la caracterización que Coppola hace del icono, pero la propia Priscilla ha estado de acuerdo desde el primer día. Todo el filme se basa literalmente en sus memorias.

La muerte de Matthew Perry ha vuelto a poner el foco en la dinámica de sus antiguos compañeros de reparto, y una anécdota sobre David Schwimmer está resurgiendo, sobre su gran generosidad con el grupo.

The Guardian desenterró esta dulce historia en las memorias de Perry del año pasado "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing", en la que el fallecido actor cuenta cómo el dinero comenzó a cambiar en el set de 'Friends' mientras filmaban en los años 90.

En su libro, Perry dice que todas las estrellas estaban haciendo alrededor de $22.000 por episodio en la temporada 1, pero en la segunda, Dave y Jennifer Aniston habían comenzado a ganar un poco más, debido a la popularidad de sus personajes Ross y Rachel y su mítico romance.

Cuando llegó la 3ª temporada, Warner Bros quería darles aún más dinero a los dos, ya que eran los favoritos de los fans, pero Schwimmer se opuso en nombre de sus compañeros de reparto. Al parecer, Dave propuso la idea de negociar colectivamente para que todos ganaran lo mismo, aunque eso supusiera un recorte salarial para él y Jen.

Matt dice que eso es lo que terminó pasando y escribe: "David sin duda estaba en una posición en la que podría haber ido por más dinero y no lo hizo. Me gustaría pensar que yo habría hecho lo mismo, pero como un codicioso de 25 años, no estoy seguro de haberlo hecho".

Y añade: "Pero su decisión sirvió para que nos cuidáramos el uno al otro a lo largo de lo que resultaron ser una serie de estresantes negociaciones con la cadena, y nos dio una tremenda cantidad de poder... Tenemos que agradecer a la bondad de David y su astuto sentido de los negocios, lo que nos ofrecieron. Te debo unos 30 millones de dólares, David".

En la octava temporada, Matthew reveló que cada uno de los actores de "Friends" ganaba alrededor de un millón de dólares por episodio y atribuye a Schwimmer el haber establecido ese precedente desde el principio. Al parecer, siguieron negociando los sueldos en grupo a lo largo de los años.

Esta historia, que técnicamente salió el año pasado, se está haciendo popular en este momento y solo nos muestra lo cercanos que eran todos en el set de "Friends", lo que explica la devastación por la repentina pérdida de Perry. TMZ publicó la historia, el actor fue encontrado sin vida el pasado fin de semana en su casa de Los Ángeles.

Como informamos, el elenco asistió a un pequeño funeral privado del actor este viernes cerca de las colinas de Hollywood. Estuvieron junto a su familia y seres queridos, incluyendo sus padres.

Schwimmer, Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc y Lisa Kudrow emitieron un comunicado conjunto sobre el fallecimiento de Perry diciendo que la tragedia era "insondable" y que todavía estaban procesándola como grupo. Desde entonces han pasado relativamente desapercibidos.

Matthew Perry's death has put a renewed focus on the dynamic of his old costars -- and one anecdote about David Schwimmer is resurfacing ... touching on his one-for-all spirit.

The Guardian dug up this sweet tale in Perry's memoir from last year -- 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing' -- in which the late actor recounts how money started to change on the set of 'Friends' while they were filming back in the '90s.

In his book, MP says all the stars were making about $22,000 an episode for Season 1 -- but by Season 2, Dave and Jennifer Aniston had begun earning a bit more ... on account of their popularity on the show due to the whole Ross/Rachel romance story line.

When Season 3 rolled around, WB wanted to throw even more cash at the 2 of 'em -- as they were now fan faves -- but Schwimmer put his foot down on behalf of his castmates. Apparently, Dave floated the idea of them collectively bargaining together ... so everyone could make the same amount of money, even if it meant a pay cut for him and Jen.

Matt says that's exactly what ultimately happened, writing ... "David had certainly been in a position to go for the most money, and he didn’t. I would like to think that I would have made the same move, but as a greedy 25-year-old, I’m not sure I would have."

He adds, "But his decision served to make us take care of each other through what turned out to be a myriad of stressful network negotiations, and it gave us a tremendous amount of power ... We had David’s goodness, and his astute business sense, to thank for what we had been offered. I owe you about $30m, David."

By Season 8, MP revealed that each of the 'Friends' actors were making about a million bucks an episode ... and he credits Schwimmer with establishing that precedent early. Apparently, they continued to hammer out salary negotiations as a group over the years.

This story, which technically came out last year, is making the rounds right now ... and just speaks to how close the 'Friends' really were on set -- adding to the devastation of Perry's sudden loss. TMZ broke the story ... he was found dead last weekend at his L.A. home.

As we reported ... the cast attended a small, private funeral for Perry Friday near the Hollywood Hills -- as did Perry's family and loved ones, including his parents.

Schwimmer, Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow all released a joint statement addressing Perry's passing ... saying the tragedy was "unfathomable" and that they were still processing it as a group. They've laid relatively low in the days since.

The woman who went viral for freaking out on a plane and making the Internet think she saw something other-worldly is finally coming clean ... revealing what actually set her off.

Tiffany Gomas -- who's been holding on to this secret for a good while now -- dished on the 'Pardon My Take' podcast this past week ... telling the hosts that she didn't see jack in the cabin that day, and that her infamous "not real" line was just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.

Take a listen for yourself ... Tiffany explains that she'd gotten into some sort of argument with a fella back there, and that the whole thing spiraled out of control -- ending in a tirade.

She says there was nothing supernatural or unexplainable that made her utter her tearful words -- it sounds like she just spat something incoherent out and misspoke in the moment.

As TG explains here ... she was highly distressed and simply in her feels, so whatever came out of her mouth was just a reflection of that. Tiffany says it's certainly not her proudest moment, and she's extra embarrassed by the fact that this was viewed by millions.

As for the many conspiracy theories that are out there about this whole thing -- and yes, there are A LOT -- TG says those folks can keep on thinking what they want ... 'cause the truth is much less exciting, and she just wants to put the whole thing behind her.

Tiffany has been fairly tight-lipped until this interview -- you'll recall, she was extra cagey with us at the airport a few months ago about what exactly she saw ... now, though, word's out.

If you think just using a porta-potty is rough ... grab some TP, because you're about to see a woman get crushed by a porta-potty on wheels, and it's definitely a memory she'd love to flush!!!

A group of stuntmen, known as the @madhouseboys on IG, took part in a Thrasher Magazine event called The Halloween Hellbomb skating/costume competition -- and the video from last week's wild event shows them hurtling down a skate park in L.A.'s Griffith Park in their mobile toilet.

Y'know ... for when ya really gotta go, go, go!

Anyway, things were running smoothly until a woman in the crowd named Katrina Ponce De Leon got distracted while filming on her phone. She told us she couldn't gauge how close she was to the potty shot because she was viewing through a wide-angle lens.

She also didn't see the door hanging off the side, which ended up taking her out as the porta-potty slammed into her. Oh s**t, was never more appropriate! 💩

Katrina only suffered minor injuries in the crash, but check out the guy standing near her who took a street sign to the dome. He went to a hospital to treat a cut on his head.

Texas Tech security didn't have to worry about fans invading the football field on Thursday night -- but they did have to deal with an opossum storming the pitch ... and the animal was sure pissed off when guards wouldn't let it continue its jaunt.

The wild scene played out at the end of the first quarter of the Red Raiders' game against TCU in Lubbock, Texas ... when an opossum somehow broke into Jones AT&T Stadium and made its way onto the field.

Broadcast cameras showed the marsupial got to the 15-yard line ... before security went to chase it down so play could resume.

Eventually, officials were able to corral it with an animal snare pole ... but you can see, the little beast was not pleased at all to be detained. In fact, it hissed and showed its teeth the entire time that it was being dragged away.

The opossum was ultimately removed from the stadium ... and the game went on -- but after TTU was able to beat TCU, 35-28, its fans asked to keep the critter!!

"Our lucky possum!!!" one Red Raiders supporter wrote on social media.

Seems the school is at least somewhat open to the idea ... its president was actually seen petting the opossum following the incident -- and the team ended up making a pic of the little guy its background image on X.

Una mujer que conducía un Porsche a más de 100 millas por hora en una carretera del estado de Washington perdió el control y se fue por los aires, chocando y matando al pasajero que la acompañaba, y todo fue capturado en video.

Ting Ye, de 26 años, fue acusada de homicidio vehicular cuando un juez del condado de King emitió una orden de arresto contra ella tras el accidente del 30 de septiembre en Bellevue, Washington.

Las imágenes de las cámaras de tráfico capturaron a Ye zumbando por la autopista en el carro deportivo con su pasajero, Yabao Liu, en las primeras horas de la mañana.

De repente, el vehículo da vueltas y se desplaza lateralmente, chocando contra una barrera metálica y saliendo disparado fuera de la calzada mientras se volcaba salvajemente.

Liu, de 27 años, falleció, mientras que Ye fue tratada en un hospital local por heridas leves. Ya fue dada de alta.  La pareja llegó a Bellevue por motivos de trabajo, aunque no está claro cuál es su relación exactamente.

De acuerdo con documentos de la corte, Ye no cooperó con la policía y se escabulló del centro médico, dirigiéndose a Canadá antes de huir a China.

Los fiscales presentaron entonces la acusación penal contra Ye, mientras el juez firmaba su orden de detención. Ahora, están trabajando con las autoridades federales de Washington DC para traerla de vuelta a Bellevue y que enfrente la justicia.

Un obstáculo importante es China, que no tiene un tratado de extradición con Estados Unidos, lo que impide que el gobierno extranjero la entregue.

A woman driving a Porsche at more than 100 miles per hour on a Washington state highway lost control and went airborne, crashing and killing her passenger -- and it was all caught on video.

26-year-old Ting Ye was charged with vehicular homicide as a King County judge issued an arrest warrant for her following the deadly September 30th incident in Bellevue, WA.

Traffic camera footage captured Ye whizzing down the freeway in the sports car with her passenger, Yabao Liu, in the early morning hours.

Suddenly, the vehicle spins around and travels sideways, slamming into a metal barrier and launching off the roadway while flipping over wildly.

The 27-year-old Liu died, whereas Ye was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released. The pair came to Bellevue for work, although their exact relationship was unclear.

According to court docs, Ye was uncooperative with police and slipped out of the medical center, hightailing it to Canada before fleeing to China.

Prosecutors then filed the criminal charge against Ye, while the judge signed off on her arrest warrant. Now, they're working with federal authorities in D.C. to bring her back to Bellevue to face justice.

One major obstacle is China, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., preventing the foreign government from turning her over.

Lisa Marie Presley was practically begging Sofia Coppola not to put her new movie about her mom and dad not long before she suddenly died -- slamming the flick as a hit piece.

The late daughter of Elvis Presley fired off 2 emails to the director four months prior to January -- when she suffered cardiac arrest and passed away -- in which she pled with her to stop down on her feature and reconsider putting it out ... which she didn't, of course.

According to Variety, which obtained the correspondence, LMP called Coppola's script "shockingly vengeful and contemptuous" ... and went on to slam the way Elvis is portrayed.

She writes, "My father only comes across as a predator and manipulative. As his daughter, I don’t read this and see any of my father in this character. I don’t read this and see my mother’s perspective of my father. I read this and see your shockingly vengeful and contemptuous perspective and I don’t understand why?"

Lisa added, "I will be forced to be in a position where I will have to openly say how I feel about the film and go against you, my mother and this film publicly."

In response, Coppola answered ... "I hope that when you see the final film you will feel differently, and understand I’m taking great care in honoring your mother, while also presenting your father with sensitivity and complexity."

It sounds like Coppola actually toned her movie down compared to the source material it's based on -- Priscilla Presley's 'Elvis and Me' -- which apparently contained even more scandalous stories about Elvis courting the very young PP at the time ... something that has come under a lot of scrutiny in the years following his own famous death.

As we reported ... Lisa's cry for the film to be shut down echoes what Elvis' own estate said about the film as it was being worked on -- which, at the time, called it a travesty. Priscilla herself, however, was very much on board from day one ... speaking to the fracture here.

Lisa Marie Presley estuvo prácticamente rogándole a Sofia Coppola que no hiciera la nueva película sobre su mamá y su papá, no mucho antes de que muriera repentinamente.

La difunta hija de Elvis Presley envió dos correos electrónicos a la directora cuatro meses antes de que sufriera un paro cardíaco y falleciera, en los que le rogaba que detuviera el filme y reconsiderara suspenderlo... cosa que no hizo, por supuesto.

Según Variety, que obtuvo la correspondencia entre ambas partes, Lisa Marie Presley calificó el guion de Coppola de "escandalosamente vengativo y despectivo", y criticó especialmente la forma en que era retratado Elvis.

Escribe: "Mi padre solo aparece como un depredador y un manipulador. Como su hija, no veo nada de mi padre en este personaje al leerlo. No veo la perspectiva de mi madre sobre mi padre al leerlo. Leo esto y veo su perspectiva escandalosamente vengativa y despectiva y no entiendo por qué..."

Lisa añadió: "Me veré obligada a estar en una posición en la que tendré que decir abiertamente lo que siento sobre la película e ir en contra de ti, de mi madre y de esta película públicamente".

En respuesta, Coppola contestó: "Espero que cuando veas la película final te sientas diferente, y entiendas que estoy teniendo mucho cuidado en honrar a tu madre, mientras que también presento a tu padre con sensibilidad y complejidad".

Suena como que Coppola realmente suavizó el tono de su película en comparación al material original en que se basa -Priscilla Presley 'Elvis y yo'- que al parecer contenía historias aún más escandalosas sobre Elvis cortejando a la joven Priscilla en su momento, lo que ha sido objeto de mucho escrutinio en los años posteriores a la muerte del cantante.

Como informamos, la llamada de auxilio de Lisa para que se cancelara la película se hace eco de lo que el propio patrimonio de Elvis dijo sobre esta cuando se estaba trabajando en ella. En ese momento, se calificó de parodia. Priscilla, en cambio, estuvo muy a bordo en el proyecto desde el primer día.

Jeff Bezos is heading toward greener pastures -- or bluer waters, rather ... 'cause he's packing up his bags and leaving the city of Seattle behind for good ... opting for Florida.

The Amazon founder billionaire announced Thursday that he and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, will be moving to Miami soon -- and he did so by posting old footage of himself in the city he's lived in for a long time ... and where he founded the iconic tech company.

Jeff writes, "Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That’s my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazon’s first 'office.'"

He continues, "My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of ’82 -- GO Panthers!) I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami."

He points out that his rocket company, Blue Origin, has its core operations facility down in Cape Canaveral as well ... so the move makes sense on that front, as he apparently wants to focus on that venture a tad bit more these days.

JB finishes with this ... "I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart."

Lauren seems to be stoked about the relocation ... she replied, "Miami 💖."

Of course, this move lines up with a recent real estate purchase he made down in the Sunshine State -- in which he scooped up his neighbor's multi-million-dollar compound in Indian Creek, FL ... a plot of land that was already next to his mansion there.

We already know the soon-to-be-married power couple like the open sea, and with them being stationed in Vice City going forward ... they'll have access to one and then some.

A Florida man was arrested last month after he allegedly tried circumcising his toddler cousin -- which went terribly wrong ... and which landed this guy behind bars.

29-year-old Timothoes Powell was taken into custody and booked on child abuse charges earlier in October -- all because he allegedly tried snipping his 2-year-old relative's penis while babysitting him down in Daytona Beach ... this according to the local authorities.

Here's how cops are saying it went down ... Powell was watching his young cuzzo while the kid's parents were away -- and mom and dad got a call from their nephew at one point saying he had to rush their son to the hospital because he was bleeding from his crotch.

As it turns out ... the child appeared to have been cut, and when asked about this -- Powell reportedly told police glass must've been in the little one's diaper. Upon further questioning, however, Powell reportedly said he may have pulled the baby's foreskin down too hard while trying to clean him. Of course, cops weren't buying that -- 'cause nurses said it looked like a clean cut and was far too precise to be any sort of accident like the one he described.

Cops ended up arresting with some other evidence they say they recovered -- including home surveillance footage which supposedly shows Powell acting mean to the kid ... and allegedly walking away from the boy at one point with an object in his hand. Investigators believe he may have attempted to deliberately circumcise his cousin ... and now, he's in trouble.

Big Boi's performance at a college football game went south real quick when he decided to share the stage with an owl that wasn't exactly feeling the vibe ... and tried to fly the coop, real quick!

Here's the deal, BB hit the stage in Georgia after Kennesaw State University's game with one of his pet owls, Kennesaw State's mascot is an owl, on his arm -- obviously thinking it would be the perfect crowd-pleaser. Ahhh, the best-laid plans of owls and men!

It did NOT go as planned, as you can see in the video... the owl got spooked right away during Big Boi's Saturday night performance and tried to fly away, but he was leashed to rapper's gloved right hand.

Sleepy Brown did his best to distract the crowd while Big Boi called in some help -- hopefully from a professional handler -- and the show went on, but it made for an awkward walk-out nonetheless.

He also shared a clip of him and the owl before the game and, at least backstage, it seemed chill.

Kennesaw State hasn't had a live owl mascot in a few years and its current mascot Scrappy is a costume.

La actuación de Big Boi en un partido de fútbol universitario se fue rápidamente al carajo cuando sacó un búho vivo al escenario, ¡pero el pájaro no estaba de humor y se puso a la ofensiva rápidamente!

Bib subió al escenario el fin de semana pasado después del partido de la Universidad Estatal de Kennesaw en Georgia, y como la mascota de la escuela es un búho, debió pensar que sacar a un búho de verdad sería la idea perfecta. Spoiler, no lo era.

Obviamente, las cosas no salieron según lo planeado, el pájaro se asustó de inmediato durante la actuación de Big Boi después del partido y trató de despegar, pero parece haber estado unido a él y no lo logró.

Terminó pidiendo ayuda, y, finalmente, el espectáculo continuó sin el ave nocturna.

Big Boi ha sido un amante de los búhos durante años, de hecho, hizo una entrevista con Rolling Stone en 2019 con sus pájaros mascota y pudimos notar que todos tienen nombres: Tula, Simon, Whodini y Hootie.
